Chapter 946 The Forbidden True Name

What does it feel like when the art style changes?

It's hard to explain specifically, but simply put, it's like someone actually started cultivating in a magical world!

This isn't really a strange thing. After all, there's a natural phenomenon in the multiverse called transmigrators. Over the years, there haven't been less than eighty or ninety cultivation transmigrators who've gone to the world where Venerable Qiongyuan is, each of them walking around different worlds with cultivation and Tai Chi. Venerable Qiongyuan didn't care and let them develop.

But this time is different... this time, it's not a transmigrator.

Instead, the original 'Western fantasy art style' began to waver. The entire world was like a piece of paper, about to be completely torn open and flipped over, revealing the 'truth' behind it!

Even Venerable Qiongyuan himself was affected, feeling as if he was a Dao Ancestor, but because he wanted to experiment with a different possibility, he transformed his own blessed land into this Western fantasy art style...

How could that be!

Realizing that he was at risk of being overwritten, Venerable Qiongyuan naturally couldn't sit idly by. He wanted to trace the source and see who dared to attack him.

The Third Supreme Saint, who held absolute power, traced back the coordinate system of infinite parallel timelines, searching for the source of this influence.

Then, he happened to encounter the other two Supreme Saints who were almost sealed into the story.

Venerable Qiongyuan communicated with Daoist Qian Yuan and the Polar Star Holy Emperor, confirming their common enemy.

Then, he exhausted the power of a complete possibility branch and created the [Anchor of Reality], allowing the three Supreme Saints to join forces, resonate absolute power, and anchor reality.

The location of the Anchor of Reality is the real coordinate system '0.0.0.0'.

However, the problem is that because the actions of the three Supreme Saints were equivalent to making enemies of all infinite parallel timelines, the concept of 'absolutely real H浑天un Tian' (the world) needed to be constantly spread.

But none of the three Supreme Saints were natives of 浑天 Hun Tian.

Daoist Qian Yuan was a drifting powerhouse who had traveled the void of the multiverse for endless years, passing by 浑天 Hun Tian and helping out.

The Polar Star Holy Emperor was an anomaly that emerged from the innate Chaos Gods and Demons, a traitor to order among the Chaos Gods and Demons. Strictly speaking, its source was a taboo.

As for Venerable Qiongyuan... he himself was a member who emerged from an infinite parallel timeline, a 'Supreme Saint Dao Ancestor' in a Western fantasy art style.

The three supreme powerhouses could provide power, but they couldn't provide the elements of '浑天 Hun Tian'.

And at that time... under the Supreme Saints.

Those beings who were derived from the fragments of the world that Daoist Qian Yuan took from the old 浑天 Hun Tian, from the hands of those broken Celestial Gods, those most true and unadulterated descendants of 'real 浑天 Hun Tian', chose to sacrifice themselves to become sacrifices for the Anchor of Reality to spread the concept.

They were the remnants of the old 浑天 Hun Tian, the original people of the new 浑天 Hun Tian, the most real representatives of 浑天 Hun Tian, who had penetrated the past and future.

Their existence itself was even more real than the 浑天 Hun Tian universe itself, a concept of '浑天 Hun Tian'.

[Our past, the Celestial Gods who protected our ancestors, their sacrifices must never be forgotten, we will absolutely not allow this to happen!]

That was a firm vow, the determination of the beings even surpassed the imagination of the Supreme Saints.

Those remnants who were rescued from the old 浑天 Hun Tian by them had not forgotten the past to this day. They still remembered, remembered the tears dripping from the dark sun, remembered the last protection of the Celestial Gods, and the heroism of Daoist Qian Yuan's unwavering help.

And now, these 'truths' were all being smeared, disappearing, turning into stories... compared to the Supreme Saints who could at least guarantee their own authenticity, they, these mortals, were even more unable to accept this.

They would absolutely not allow, would not allow their past to be erased, would not allow their history of resistance to be rewritten, and they would become willing citizens under the 'taboo' without even realizing it!

Sacrifice.

Livestock slaughtered for sacrifice; giving up one's life for a righteous purpose.

This was both sacrifice and 'sacrifice'. The Supreme Saints couldn't find other ways and could only silently watch them choose to sacrifice themselves.

To this day, the Anchor of Reality still stands in the Third Epoch, and there are still endless sacrifices continuing.

In order not to let everything be sacrificed meaninglessly, and in order not to let all sacrifices be meaningless and continue to sacrifice... This endless cycle began.

The seal against the taboo was expanded once again.

The real 浑天 Hun Tian returned to its proper position once again.

However, if the taboo could be resolved so easily, why would there be other later generations of beings and Supreme Saints?

Just after the 'Rebellious Timeline' was sealed, and 浑天 Hun Tian operated normally for a while.

Once again, an anomaly appeared.

The sacrificers of the Anchor of Reality were only people, intelligent life, although it included many magical beasts and monsters, but in the final analysis, it was only intelligent life.

With this, all intelligent life could not be replaced, rewritten in truth and falsehood by 'absolute' power.

However, other existences, such as sand, air, soil, etc., were gradually alienated, replaced, and became 'false', unable to be used by all beings.

This time, the three Supreme Saints quickly discovered something was wrong. They found that many empty spaces and islands in 浑天 Hun Tian had become false. They looked like they existed, but they couldn't carry people. People who stepped on the false land would fall directly toward the earth.

And those false lands could not grow edible crops.

How should it be said?

Those crops and lands all existed in reality, but they were all like pictures in a story – the pictures did exist, but the crops and lands were all inside the pictures. The beings outside the pictures could not use them, unless they ate the drawing paper.

Life could not be invaded and transformed into falsehood. The taboo named [Calamity of All Beings] began to invade all things except life… Without reaching the Earth Immortal stage, without being a divine tree, there was no way to survive independently of the material realm. This was a tactic of cutting off the firewood under the pot.

In addition, at that time, there were already many foreign cultivators in 浑天 Hun Tian – they resonated with the Dao of the innate Chaos Gods and Demons in 浑天 Hun Tian, and thus could quickly become Dao Harmonization powerhouses.

They believed that this was 浑天 Hun Tian's spirit welcoming them… but the true spirit of 浑天 Hun Tian was essentially the spirit bred by the 'seal' created by the three Supreme Saints, which was the 'River of Time' itself mastered by the Supreme Saints. The spirit of 浑天 Hun Tian was that correct infinite timeline. It existed, but it would not help powerhouses from other universes to harmonize with the Dao in this world.

Those powerhouses who were in harmony with the Dao of the innate Chaos Gods and Demons, if they were powerful enough to surpass the will of the Chaos Gods and Demons, then they would obtain the permission of the Supreme Saints of 浑天 Hun Tian, trace back the timeline, become a member of the 'Dao Domain', and also become a member of 浑天 Hun Tian, becoming a part of the seal.

And those who had not surpassed the will of the Chaos Gods and Demons would become the carriers for the resurrection of the Chaos Gods and Demons. Those in a shallow situation would be driven out of 浑天 Hun Tian, while those in a serious situation would be beheaded by the Supreme Saints, so as not to become carriers for the resurrection of the Chaos Gods and Demons.

This was also the reason why the Supreme Saints had a reputation for being bloodthirsty and cruel, with extremely heavy killing intent, in the multiverse.

For this reason, the Saintly衍 Yan Immortal of that time, a glimmer of life rising in all life in 浑天 Hun Tian, came into being. In order to continue the existence of all beings, he took action the moment he attained the Dao, beheading all the Dao Harmonization cultivators of the Chaos Gods and Demons who were unwilling to listen to orders and leave 浑天 Hun Tian, and used the infinite vitality of these Dao Harmonization cultivators as a foundation to give 'life' to all things in 浑天 Hun Tian.

Wind, fire, dust, water, air pressure, thunder…

Everything that had life, everything that didn't have life, everything that was tangible, everything that was intangible…

Everything, all things, whether they had names or concepts, were all given life by the Fourth Supreme Saint, Saintly衍 Yan Immortal.

They were no longer 'dead objects' that could be kneaded by the taboo at will, but 'life' with self-will that could resist.

In this way, all things also became a member of all beings, and in order to determine the reality of their existence, for the sake of reality, they also needed to prove their 'sacrifice'.

That was the War of Ten Thousand Races in later legends.

The war almost destroyed everything. The bloody battle between ten thousand races itself was a grand 'sacrifice' and 'ritual' – with the 'will' of all life fighting for their existence as the source, Saintly衍 Yan Immortal sealed the [Calamity of All Beings].

At this point, the [Innate Chaos Gods and Demons] representing [Eternal Heavenly Demons] and the [Evil God's Calamitous Path] were sealed by Daoist Qian Yuan and the Polar Star Holy Emperor.

And the [Rebellious Parallel Timeline] and the [Calamity of All Beings], representing the [Absolute Heavenly Demons], were sealed by Venerable Qiongyuan and Saintly衍 Yan Immortal.

Absolute Dao and absolute order suppressed the [Eternal Heavenly Demons].

Absolute truth and absolute life suppressed the [Absolute Heavenly Demons].

And finally…

"Enough!"

Su Zhou shouted, he closed his eyes and stopped looking at the future.

Looking at the Fifth Epoch, which was located in the 'present'.

That is, the cosmic spacetime where the Fifth Supreme Saint, Awakened of 无明 Wuming (Ignorance), is located, fighting against the [Heavenly Demons of 无方 Wufang (No Direction)].

At this moment, even as a Flood, Su Zhou's heart was in chaos for a moment.

The three major elements of Transcendence are 'Infinity', 'Eternity' and 'Absoluteness'.

In different civilizations, different languages, and different systems, these three key points also have different names – or Infinite and Eternal, Source-less and Everlasting, and Void-less and Ever-true; belief, love, and conviction, and so on.

The power of the Five Supreme Saints is more than enough to seal a Flood. They themselves are a Flood when combined, not inferior to any other Flood.

In fact, four Supreme Saints are enough to seal a Flood!

But…

There is also the Fifth Supreme Saint.

Besides the 'Eternity' and 'Absoluteness' that have already been sealed, there is also the element of 'Heavenly Demons of 无方 Wufang (No Direction)', which has not been sealed.

——无方 Wufang (No Direction) means no fixed rules, no fixed regulations, no fixed categories, no fixed direction.

无方 Wufang (No Direction) is also infinity, limitlessness, boundlessness!

The Heavenly Demons of 无方 Wufang (No Direction)… are the [Infinite Heavenly Demons]!

"Three elements—"

Su Zhou swallowed, he only felt incredible in his heart: "This is already a Transcender!"

"But how is that possible?"

At this moment.

The Five Supreme Saints did not answer Su Zhou's doubts.

They would not say, could not say, and did not need to say.

Because the possibility that was also not spoken in Su Zhou's heart was the 'truth'!

That was also why they were unwilling to tell Su Zhou the truth all along, preferring to fight him rather than reveal half a word.

Because that 'sealed' 'taboo' was so powerful, so incredible, that even if the Flood spoke out a trace of its possibility, it could be resurrected from it!

Su Zhou quickly calmed down from the shock.

——Transcendence cannot be sealed.

Transcendence is transcending all trials, all suffering, all reversals and logic.

Their appearance itself means the end – the end of a world of suffering, the end of problems, the end of stories.

The true form of the 'taboo' can never be a Transcender, otherwise, it would be impossible for it to be sealed. Not only that, but even Su Zhou would be kicked to some corner of who-knows-where.

Five Supreme Saints? Even adding five Floods is not enough!

However, the 'taboo' does have three elements… It is better than the Flood, but it is not yet Transcendence… If you have to say it, it is the peak Flood half-step great perfection? No, this kind of setting is just a joke, how could there be such an outrageous thing.

"Wait a minute, let me think… Why did the Old 浑天 Hun Tian only be destroyed after summoning the taboo, but the taboo did not instantly grow to its complete form?"

Su Zhou took a deep breath, he began to think: "Is it a coincidence, or is 浑天 Hun Tian special?"

"Let's reverse it again – why could the 浑天 Hun Tian at that time summon the taboo? Why can't other universes summon the taboo?"

The answer is much simpler now.

"浑天 Hun Tian is special… 浑天 Hun Tian moves endlessly throughout the multiverse."

The youth murmured to himself: "浑天 Hun Tian is the source of the taboo, 浑天 Hun Tian is… the center of the multiverse."

"And the essence of the Heavenly Demons of 无方 Wufang (No Direction)… is the distorted cosmic spacetime."

What is the universe?

The universe is endless and ever forward.

The universe is boundless and ever present.

The universe is [Infinite and Eternal].

The Heavenly Demons of 无方 Wufang (No Direction), those distorted cosmic spacetime, are endless, continuous, and inexhaustible – the Fifth Epoch, what the Awakened of 无明 Wuming (Ignorance) and all beings have to face is infinite cosmic spacetime!

Their enemy is real infinity.

So… there also needs to be 'infinite sacrifice'!

The Awakened of 无明 Wuming (Ignorance) is the convergence of the karma of all beings in the Fifth Epoch. He bears the karma of Daoist Qian Yuan, the Polar Star Holy Emperor, Venerable Qiongyuan, and Saintly衍 Yan Immortal sealing the absolute and eternal Heavenly Demons, inheriting the origin of the new and old 浑天 Hun Tian, and gathering the karma of the continued existence of all beings. He is also the representative of 'infinite karma'.

Death is the beginning of life; the infinite cycle of death and life, the Dao of [Master of Stillness] and [Termination] rotate, eventually transforming into a great formation that can completely seal even infinity.

Its name is the [Great Karma Mandala]. As long as there is still life continuing in 浑天 Hun Tian, there is still life sacrificing, still stepping from the present to the future, still creating karma with other life, still resisting this cycle, still trying to transcend, then this seal is unbreakable!

As for what exactly this seal, jointly forged by the Five Supreme Saints and spanning the infinite river of time, is meant to seal…

The answer is already very clear.

Su Zhou was silent, because that was indeed something that could not be said.

The Five Supreme Saints of 浑天 Hun Tian may not have done it to the end, but they were undoubtedly right in this – when facing such an existence, even mentioning a concept, being self-existent and ubiquitous, being both eternal, absolute, and infinite, would cause Him to be resurrected.

Because, what the Five Supreme Saints sealed, what they blocked for all beings in the sealed multiverse, the 'disaster'.

Its true name is…

[——True Spirit of the Multiverse——]
